Song Zhihan had a smooth life for over two decades until she personally heard that she was an adopted child. The melodramatic plot of the fake young lady being disliked by both families and both mo...
Chapter 36 Chapter 36 What's wrong with your mouth?
The reason why they dared to make such a crazy scene last night was simply because the wedding was held in the afternoon. Li Daizhen confidently said that weddings and funerals should be held in the afternoon, but in fact she was just looking for an excuse to sleep in.
After brunch, the makeup team was finally on stage. Li Daizhen bought the whole package, and the newlyweds even had their groomsmen and bridesmaids made up as well.
"Where did you go last night? When the show was over, I couldn't find you anywhere. I called you but you didn't answer. Finally, I found Qu Yixing. He said you were fine, so I felt relieved." Li Daizhen let the makeup artist add colors to her face, her eyes darting around dishonestly.
Speaking of last night, Song Zhihan couldn't remember it either. She couldn't drink much and often had blackouts the next day, so she almost never drank. Yesterday's drink was purely an accident.
"I don't remember either. I just remember chatting with Qu Yixing. After that... I don't remember much. I think he saw that I was drunk and sent me back to my room."
Speak of the devil, and here he comes. Just as we were talking about this, Qu Yixing pushed the door open and walked in: "It wasn't sent by me." He spoke in a nonchalant manner, wearing a light-colored suit, and his wet hair stuck to his scalp.
Song Zhihan was puzzled: "Who is that? The last person I saw before I fainted was you."
Qu Yixing touched the scratches on his face that hadn't faded yet, and smiled mysteriously: "I don't know, maybe it was some unknown kind-hearted person. Where's the hair dryer? I took it and used it. We have several heads waiting to be blown dry over there."
What's the point of saying it out loud? Just wait for them to find out on their own. He can't wait to see Song Zhihan and Lin Jie fight. The academic god is so anxious that he even puts his shoes on backwards. How dare he say he is just an ordinary classmate?
Song Zhihan ignored him, thinking that Qu Yixing was having a mental breakdown again. He had always been crazy, as if he had cerebellar atrophy.
"You still remember those friends Cheng Rang met yesterday, right?" Li Daizhen closed her eyes but her mouth was busy.
Song Zhihan was also putting on eye makeup at this moment, with her eyes closed, but according to what she said, several men with different characteristics appeared in her mind.
"I remember, what's wrong?"
"Yuan Xiangbei, what do you think of the one with long hair I mentioned to you before? Can you touch her?"
Song Zhihan opened his eyes and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. "No, I only met one of the people Qu Yixing was looking for a few days ago and I don't want to continue. Using new memories to cover the old past is indeed a good idea, but it doesn't work for me. So... I'll wait until I've completely resolved these current matters before I pack up and set off again."
When interacting with others, she couldn't fully commit herself, and her mind was always occupied by other things and trivial matters. This was not fair to the people who were introduced, so Song Zhihan didn't want to continue.
Li Daizhen guessed she was probably talking about Lin Jie. Sometimes she also thought it was ridiculous, like giving chocolate to a puppy—it smelled tempting, but eating it would kill you. She knew she shouldn't try to persuade him anymore, so she simply skipped the topic and talked about something else.
The main wedding dress was personally chosen by Li Daizhen. Unlike ordinary puffy skirts, she chose a design that was short in front and long in the back. The front length reached the middle of the thigh, and the back was long to the tail. It turns out that she can really handle this unique design.
She didn't wear a veil, but a headband made of flowers and plants, dotted with a few pearls, which was lively and playful, and very consistent with Li Daizhen's quirky personality. Her bouquet was also very colorful, with all kinds of flowers piled together.
"Song Zhihan, I give you all my luck and hope that happiness will come to you soon." Li Daizhen smiled and handed the bouquet to her with both hands.
Song Zhihan's eyes instantly filled with tears, and the tears flowed down like beads that had broken off the string.
She covered her mouth, her voice choked with sobs: "Daizhen, you ruined my makeup."
Li Daizhen laughed out loud, took her hand, and ran towards the venue for the ceremony.
…
After sending the newlyweds on a plane to start their honeymoon, Song Zhihan is also about to return to work.
On the first day back at the company, I heard an explosive piece of news from Cheng Yang.
Julie resigned.
It was a strange story. It was said that her previous maneuvering had attracted the attention of a marketing firm. They agreed that Julie was a talented marketer, so they immediately sent a headhunter to recruit her, offering her a very generous salary. The previous incident had left Julie utterly humiliated. She couldn't bear to stay any longer, so she jumped ship when a new opportunity presented itself.
Song Zhihan was stunned when she heard this. She never expected it to turn out this way.
Cheng Yang sighed: "Ah, what about the screenwriter of our theater version?"
This sentence pulled Song Zhihan back. She pushed Becca's shoulder and said, "We have Becca. It would be a waste to leave such a great person unused."
Becca's identity can no longer be concealed anyway, and the company will have to re-sign a contract with her sooner or later.
Becca pushed her glasses up. "Boss Lin already contacted me yesterday. Zhihan and I will be in charge of the theatrical version."
After many days, hearing Lin Jie's name again, the smile on Song Zhihan's face froze for a moment, but it was only for a moment. She quickly became full of energy: "That's great, with our two swords combined, we will be invincible!"
Cheng Yang pointed at her head and said she was a middle school student.
The three of them laughed together, and when they saw Xiaochi coming in to get water, they tacitly stopped all their playing.
"Becca, I didn't realize you were so capable. It's a shame for me to show off my skills in front of you." She held the thermos cup and smiled at Becca.
Becca was a little at a loss: "Uh, no, Sister Xiaochi, I still have a lot to learn from you."
Xiaochi smiled and didn't respond, instead talking about something else: "It seems that the movie version will be handed over to you. Good job, you and Zhihan can handle it on your own."
The two people whose names were called looked at each other and responded with silly smiles. In the workplace, when facing colleagues who don't get along with each other, this is the only way.
After she left, Song Zhihan asked Becca, "Should we report the bug in Yue Ru Gou's script that we discussed earlier to Mr. Lin?"
Becca thought about it and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. Let's wait and see when they finish updating this month's episodes. What if it gets a reunion?"
Things haven't reached the point where they're set in stone yet, so we can wait and see. Once Yue Rugou really reveals her true colors, there's no need to rush into the Lingdong movie.
After a while of chatting, a few more notifications came on the phone. Lin Jie only called Song Zhihan and Becca to inform them of an impromptu meeting.
The two chatted as they walked. Song Zhihan guessed that it was about the work assignment for the movie version, and Becca felt the same way.
As I stepped into the office door, I saw Lin Jie standing side by side with a thin man from a distance. He was a little stronger, with broad shoulders and a straight back.
Song Zhihan's gaze habitually lingered on him, then quickly turned away.
"Mr. Lin." She spoke first, and when Lin Jie turned around, she had already put on a decent smile.
Lin Jie was talking, and when he heard her voice, his thoughts were interrupted for a moment. It was not until Zhai Akuan called him that he came back to his senses in a daze.
He has been in this state frequently these days, with all kinds of bizarre fantasies appearing irregularly like a movie, seriously interfering with his normal life.
He nodded to the two of them from a distance and said, "Please sit down. I'll tell you about the arrangements for the theatrical version."
Song Zhihan looked at the skinny man with curiosity, waiting for Lin Jie's introduction.
"He's Zhai Akuan, the lead modeler for the Lingdong theatrical version, and he works with Da Zhai from the modeling team."
Zhai Akuan has a dark complexion but very white teeth, and when he grins he looks like a monkey.
"Just call me A-Kuan from now on. Lin Jie, if you had told me earlier that all the screenwriters in your company were so beautiful, wouldn't I have come earlier?"
Why are you still digging radishes in the ground?
Song Zhihan found his words quite interesting and added a few words: "My name is Song Zhihan, and I'm a rough editor on the screenwriting team. Ah Kuan, has anyone ever told you that you look like that talk show host?"
Zhai Akuan agreed with her immediately: "You are talking about Chengzhou, right? Many people say so." He scratched the back of his head, a little smug.
"Yes, that's him, what do you think Becca?"
Becca nodded in agreement.
Lin Jie watched the group chatting happily, his eyes flicking to Song Zhihan's curved lips, which were now smeared with glossy lip gloss, shimmering like the scent of rose dew. He tapped the table with his fingers and said coldly, "I called you here for a meeting, not a chat."
The three of them fell silent instantly. Song Zhihan hung his head and didn't dare to look at him again.
Lin Jie made a detailed and thorough work arrangement, and conveyed to them the general content and expected goals of the spiritual version. The modeling was actually okay, after all, it was based on the main series, but the plot was much more complicated. Lin Jie's goal was to make the two versions echo each other and complement each other, but the content in the main series was already very complete, and how to come up with new ideas in the movie version was a difficult problem.
"Becca, your task is to grasp the main plot, reorganize and enrich the experiences of key characters, and extend the audience's expectations from the movie to the main series. Song Zhihan, you are still responsible for the emotional line. How to give Luo Qing new character traits here is up to you. In short, don't forget the purpose of making this movie."
Song Zhihan and Becca smiled at each other and saw the confidence in each other's eyes.
After the meeting, Zhai Akuan was taken by Da Zhai to the modeling group to meet new colleagues. Becca was also preparing to go out with her things, but Song Zhihan gave her a wink and asked her to stay in the meeting room.
Lin Jie did not leave, but continued to sit there, his attention drawn to the computer in front of him.
Song Zhihan glanced at him, then looked outside the door, and quietly moved from chair to chair, finally sitting next to Lin Jie.
How could Lin Jie not notice such a blatant approach?
He lowered his eyes, looked at Song Zhihan, and said lightly: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Such a cold attitude. Song Zhihan's mood dropped for a moment, but she quickly cheered herself up. She hesitated to find a topic to talk about, and when she saw the red spot on Lin Jie's upper lip, she immediately offered her concern: "Oh, you're getting irritated, your mouth is all blistered. Let me make you some chrysanthemum tea to cool it down."
Lin Jie lightly touched the still hot peak of her lips with his fingers and suddenly let out a muffled laugh.
He looked at Song Zhihan's worried eyes and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
She doesn't remember.
Haha, it’s best not to remember.
"No need, just tell me what you want to say." He rejected Song Zhihan's concern and asked her to speak frankly.
Since everything had been made clear, Song Zhihan didn't hide it and just said it openly.
"Nothing, I just want you to help me choose a gift for Aunt Zhong. I heard her say her birthday is coming soon yesterday."
Lin Jie knew about this matter and had known Zhong Xiuwen's arrangements for a long time, but looking at Song Zhihan's expectant eyes, those things that he had found boring before became difficult to say.
"Why don't you speak?" Song Zhihan urged him.
Lin Jie lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes with his eyelashes.
"She likes watching people perform. Just sing her a happy birthday song."
It has been like this since they were young. He is responsible for singing and Lin Mo is responsible for dancing. Even though one of them sings out of tune and the other's limbs are not coordinated, Zhong Xiumen still watches with great interest.
Song Zhihan opened her mouth wide: "Ah? Is this really okay?" She grumbled to herself in annoyance: "But my singing is not good either."
Lin Jie looked at her worried expression, and the words he was about to say suddenly got stuck in his throat, but he still spoke carefully.
"Song Zhihan, they don't know your identity, so you don't have to worry."
The subtext of this sentence is, it's none of your business, get out of here.
Song Zhihan understood. She lowered her head, clenched her hands, and whispered, "Oh, I understand."
After saying that, he left the room without even looking up.
Lin Jie looked at her lost back. The densely packed words on the screen turned into a mess. Countless annoyances filled his brain. He suppressed his anger and clenched his fists.
